IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL OF
Joseph Juidiciani &Meghan Breen
52 Doten Avenue
Saratoga Springs,New York 12866
from the determination of the Building Inspector involving the premises at 52 Doten Avenue in the City
of Saratoga Springs, New York being tax parcel number 178.52-2-16.2 on the Assessment Map of said
City.
The applicant having applied for an area variance under the Zoning Ordinance of said City to seek relief
to construct a small screen porch addition in the Urban Residential—2 (UR-2)District and public notice
having been duly given of a hearing on said application held on May 16, 2022.
In consideration of the balance between benefit to the applicant with detriment to the health, safety and
welfare of the community, I move that the following area variance for the following amount of relief:
TYPE OF REQUIREMENT DISTRICT PROPOSED RELIEF
DIMENSIONAL REQUESTED
REQUIREMENT
MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE 30% 31% 1%OR 3.3%
As per the submitted plans or lesser dimensions, be approved for the following reasons:
1. The Board finds that the applicant has demonstrated this benefit cannot be achieved by other
means feasible to the applicant. The applicant seeks to construct a small screen room addition
that is approximately 200 sq. ft. to the rear of the existing principal structure. The Board notes
that the current primary residence has an integrated garage and that there are no existing
accessory structures on the property. The applicant notes that there is no additional property
available for purchase.
2. The Board finds that the applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will not create an
undesirable change in neighborhood character or detriment to nearby properties. According to
the applicant, the proposed screened in porch is small and located behind the residence and will
not be able to be seen from the street. The Board notes that there are several other properties in
the neighborhood that have screened porches located in the rear of the residences.
3. The Board does not find this variance to be substantial.
4. This Board finds this variance will not have significant adverse physical or environmental effect
on the neighborhood or district.
5. The alleged difficulty is self-created insofar as the applicant desires to construct a small screened
addition in the rear of the property, but this is not necessarily fatal to the application.
CONDITIONS: Future accessory structures are limited to 9%.
It is so moved.
Dated: May 16, 2022
Adopted by the following vote:

permit has been issued and actual construction begun as per 240-8.5.1.
I hereby certify the above to be a full,true and correct copy of a resolution duly adopted by the Zoning Board of
Appeals of the City of Saratoga Springs on the date above mentioned,seven members of the Board being present.
